Creative terrorism

AQ planners are pretty good at thinking outside of the box. Bin Laden's latest gimmick is using suicide bombers infected with AIDS/HIV and other assorted blood diseases. When they explode they blow bits of bloody flesh far and wide, so even if people aren't killed by the blast they might later get infected.

It's the two birds with one stone strategy--AQ gets rid of 'sinners' who have defiled Allah by their sexual deviancy AND they increase the kill rate against the infidels and crusaders.

Speculating here, but it's likely their infected ordnance has no choice in the matter. They are probably told they're going to hell unless they commit jihad and atone, which means killing innocent people. Makes perfect sense. Besides, if they balk AQ probably just sends them on directly to hell.

Another out-of-the-box story can be found on Drudge. It's not a confirmed AQ plan (that we know of), but the FAA is taking no chances. It's not hard to see the threat. A jihadist buys access to one of Branson's space trips, commandeers the vehicle and crashes it into a satellite, or back to earth into the target of his choice.

It's good that our side can occasionally think outside the box. It's imperative we continue.
